Plus gas mileage isn't all that much better unless you can keep your foot out of the pedal, and go with a hybrid. My wife's impala is getting 24MPG city 31HWY. I'm getting 17.5 City and that's with me racing my engine all the time. If I can ease up on the pedal I bet I'd pull maybe a low 20city. For the little bit you save it's not worth it.
I called this economy crashing due to the gas prices, and I'll call it that the prices will soar higher, then it's going to crash to around the low $2 range. Stick it out if you can. You'll be pissed if you dump off your baby, and then prices plummet.

I have a feeling this is only the start of it, as gas gets higher there are going to be more and more of these posts. The SRT-4 is a crap car all neons are, if you do crossover go honda or toyota. neons have head gasket problems and the SRT-4 put too much power to that weak transaxle.

insurance on a motorcycle is cheap, go buy a chinese bike called a lifan.. they are made in texas as long as you buy them from american lifan, you'll get 70mpg and it costs 1500 brand new... then your insurance is going to be like 20 a month because one the bike isnt worth anything and two you can get liability only
UPDATE: i went to drive an srt-4 yesterday.. and man.. wow.. no offense, but there it no point in have a fast car without torque. You have to constantly rev that thing up in order to get any power out of it. I had the dealer man scared when I finally got into boost. It looks like that's not the car for me.
People say it's not that much different, but lets just say I get a car with 4 more miles per gallon, which iseasily possible. that's an extra 52 miles per mustang tank I could be driving for the same price. Since i fill up 2 times a month, that's an extra 100 miles i could be driving in the month. if my car averages 20, that's 25 dollars a month i'm saving
Car with 8 more miles a gallon, 104 more miles a tank, 200 miles a month, 50 dollars a month i'm saving in gas alone, not to mention a lower payment and an easy $70 off insurance. All this calculated if i get a car tha takes 91 again.
for a college student who pays his own food, car note, insurance, and phone bill, that's a huge difference. All these engineering economic classes i'm taking helps me feel more secure
And for someone who said the gas prices are comming down? When? By how much? You have to agree with me when I say our economy is not the most predictable. It could go down to $2/gal, or could go straight to $7/gal. America pays the least per gal. of gas anyway that's y every other country rides smaller fuel efficent cars.
I just want to sell it before it cost me 67 dollars to fill up my tank and i can only get 170 miles out of that.

I was saying it will eventually come down. It will go higher, before it comes down. When it does come down, it will tank. This is no different than the Iran oil crisis in the late 70's early 80's. I'm betting by this time next year prices will be between $2.00-$2.99 a gallon, and when they come completely down they will stop at around $2.00 a gallon. This was their plan all along. Everyone thought $2.00 gas was unacceptable and there was an outrage about the prices. Now people are begging for that price. They basically fixed the market so people will be accepting of the $2.00 range.
As for insurance, make sure you'll save more. As I said my wifes 08 Impala LS costs more to insure than my 03 GT vert. You can't gauge insurance on performance alone. They look at every angle.
